Carbs: Surgeon General's Warning!

#1

I imagine we’ll see this in the future. At the very least things like soda/pop and heavy sugar things like candy. Interesting how times change.

You know they’ve never actually recommended that you have sugar. I think everybody knows that that’s bad for you. When there was a food pyramid it was always at the top meaning don’t need this but if you do just a tiny bit. It’s the sneaky stuff way at the bottom of the pyramid the bread the cake the crackers the cookies the pies the pancakes the waffles etc.

The companies that make carb heavy products contribute a lot of $$ to health agencies… so that stuff like this doesn’t happen. For example the first commercial cigarettes were made in 1865. The surgeon general warning didn’t appear on cigarettes until 1970.

It starts with candy for kids at Halloween! All fast food restaurants offer pop with their combos. More and more alternative health experts are saying sugar is a poison. Of course when the government intervenes people revolt like the Biggie Size Soda in NYC.

Yes the sugar lobbyists are strong! As evil as tobacco and alcohol industries. Fortunately, the internet and people interested in health are exposing some of these things.

True and sugar has been added to absolutely everything. Even things that shouldn’t have sugar, that are savory.
